WE ARE PI KAPPA ALPHA
OMICRON
AND WE ARE BACK AT U of R!
The "Best on Fraternity Row"...AGAIN!
Welcome to the Alumni Association of Pi Kappa Alpha Omicron Chapter. Our band of brothers formally created our Association in 2014 and have worked tirelessly to provide a platform for Omicron brothers of all decades and classes of the University of Richmond to reunite. Our primary reunion efforts focus around Homecoming each year but we have also planned cruise opportunities and have larger upcoming events planned.
​
We grew closer each year to our stated goal for a return of Omicron campus. Our alumni met with representatives of Pike National and the University on February 26, 2019, and began formal dialogue regarding our re-charter desires. We are pleased and proud to announce that Pi Kappa Alpha OMICRON has been RE-CHARTERED on the campus of the University of Richmond! A celebration event was held at Dover Hall on April 19, 2024.
​
Many, Many thanks to all who contributed to this monumental moment!
